Saint Kevin Durant Brings Barry Sanders Out Of Retirement

by Tom Ziller

Saint Kevin Durant played flag football at Oklahoma State this week, becoming the second NBA All-Star to do so during the lockout. (LeBron James was the first.) Now there is fun talk that KD and LeBron will face off in a flag football game. A notable OSU alum named Barry Sanders wants in. From Sanders' Twitter feed, in a tweet aimed at KD:

↵↵How do I get on that flag football squad for the game with @KingJames? I am probably too old, so maybe just for 3rd downs... LOL

↵↵I’m convinced that Saint Kevin can solve the economy if President Obama would just appoint him to the Fed already.
